More than 4,000 of my patients have tested my plan, and all reported relief from the pain and disruption of acid damage.Īs well as losing weight, they had more energy and less inflammation in their throats.Īnd many (with the exception of those who have Barrett's oesophagus, where the cells lining the gullet become precancerous) have been able to stop taking medication such as proton pump inhibitors - which reduce the production of stomach acid to treat acid reflux. This second phase should last a minimum of two weeks, but you can follow it for life. This is followed by the maintenance phase, where you reintroduce some banned foods back into the diet.

The esophagus is a tube that connects the throat and the stomach. You can find more information about GERD in the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease page. Coughing, hoarseness, or shortness of breath can occur if the fluid washes into the breathing passages. Symptoms such as heartburn, and chest discomfort and a bitter taste in the mouth often occur, due to acid washing up from the stomach. This diet is used to help reduce discomfort in the esophagus caused by Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
